Students from different parts of the world who may not be able to enroll for the regular classes due to different circumstances and reasons, ACRI offers them a whole new range of learning opportunities using the latest technologies available in the market today – VIRTUAL LEARNING and ONLINE classes.
VIRTUAL LEARNING – Real-time learning
The entire concept behind virtual classrooms is that the student gets a learning experience as being a part of an on-going class. The students get to see and share documents/slides/videos with his/her classmates and teacher. The student can see, chat and interact with other students. The classroom is set up in another city or area and the student takes his/her class during class hours, from his/ her laptop from another place (home as well).The student can also get recordings of previous classes and send in assignments and be evaluated by the teachers.
The main advantage of a virtual classroom is that the student never misses a learning opportunity due to distance and domestic/professional constraints. Working professionals can join weekend classes and people who are unable to travel to class due to distance /transport or domestic issues can stay home and dedicate a few hours to being part of an institute and interact with others in the same area of study. Virtual learning gives the student the flexibility to prepare and participate in all classroom activities without ever feeling left out.
ONLINE CLASSES – Self-paced learning
Online courses are great for self-motivated individuals who want to learn new skills and advance their careers without dropping their commitment to their job and/or family. Getting education online will also save you tons of money since you’ll avoid having to pony up even a fraction of the money required on average for a traditional education.
